• How do you go about defining the proper duration
  for a bid procurement? Consider the time that it
  takes to plan for the procurement, draft an RFI
  and/or RFP, receive responses, and make a
  decision. What could you do if you needed to fast
  track this bid duration?
• The bid procurement process can stretch as much
  as one to two years in the federal government,
  especially on "mega" procurements.  Often times
  this is due to the multiple committees, meetings,
  and layers of contract administration that a RFP,
  bid selection process must go through.  Can you
  think of any ways to make the process more
  efficient?

• Using a short list of pre-approved sellers is one
  way to eliminate a lot of the time and effort of
  the bid process.  Are there any reasons you can
  think of why using a short list is NOT a good
  idea?  When might you want to go through the
  entire bid process?
• It is said that the project manager is a vital
  part of the project procurement process.
   However, the bid duration stretches over weeks,
  months, and even years.  During that time, the
  project manager is not "managing" the project on
  a day to day basis.  What else is the project
  manager doing?  If he/she is assigned to manage
  another task, how can they devote enough time and
  energy to the bid process for this new contract?
• What are the factors are largely determined in
  negotiations in a BPO agreement?
• In contract negotiation, should the project
  manager or the contract manager be the leader in
  negotiation process?
• Is it critical to have a contract negotiation
  strategy in a BPO process?
